Question

genome collects $9.23 more then manuel? if Cindy still collects 2 times as much as genome, how much money would Cindy collect

Answer 1

We know that Genome collects $9.23 more than Manuel, and that Cindy collects 2 times as much as Genome.

We will denote by x the amount of money Manuel has. As Genome collects $9.23 more than Manuel, the amount of Genome is given by:

`9.23+x`

And as Cindy collects 2 times as much as Genome, we multiply the above amount by 2. This is,

`2(9.23+x)=18.46+2x`

Thus, Cindy will collect $18.46 + 2x, where x is the amount of money Manuel colects.
